It all started with my love for music. Back then, music was everything my escape, my comfort, my way of dreaming beyond the ordinary. That deep connection to rhythm and sound led me to DJing, and before long, I found myself sitting behind a radio microphone.
But I quickly realized that radio was a different world. It wasn’t just about playing good songs or having a nice voice it was about storytelling, connection, and responsibility.
Growing up in Tamale, I listened to some of the sharpest minds ever to grace the airwaves presenters who could inform, inspire, and entertain effortlessly. Their passion made me believe that radio was more than a job; it was an art form.
So, I made a promise to myself: If I wanted to stay relevant, I had to learn and earn my place.
I studied the craft from journalism basics to on-air ethics, timing, tone, and storytelling. Every show became a classroom, every mistake a lesson.
Then came a breakthrough the DW (Deutsche Welle) Radio Presentation Training.
Thanks to the incredible support from my bosses at Diamond FM, I was given the chance to attend that course, and it changed everything.
The training didn’t just sharpen my skills; it reshaped my mindset. It taught me that being a radio presenter isn’t just about how you sound it’s about how you make people feel.
Now, when I tune in to radio stations across Tamale, I often ask myself:
Are presenters today getting the same kind of training and mentorship we had?
Is the quality of storytelling and broadcasting we once admired still being nurtured?
Because radio isn’t just about sound it’s about emotion, connection, and consistency. It’s about having a heart for people and a respect for the mic.
And for me, that journey from DJing to becoming a voice that connects with thousands is a reminder that passion is where purpose begins.
